Warmth and Grip for Whatever the Day Throws At You
Full-grain leather and tough nylon uppers, genuine Goodyear® welt construction, and a GORE-TEX® membrane that keeps moisture out — the Rocky BearClaw 9″ is built for hunters who end up working in their boots almost as often as they hunt in them. 200 grams of 3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation keeps feet warm without adding bulk, while the storm welt seals out water and holds up to years of wear. Underfoot, Rocky's cushioned Air-Port™ footbed and the self-cleaning BearClaw 3D outsole keep every step comfortable and sure-footed.

Built for Wet, Cold Ground
The combination of Goodyear welt construction, a storm welt, and a GORE-TEX® membrane means this boot is sealed against the elements from the sole up — and because the upper is stitched rather than glued to the welt, it's built to be resoled rather than replaced.
All-Day Comfort on the Move
The Air-Port™ footbed cushions every step and keeps air circulating to fight fatigue and odor, while the BearClaw 3D outsole's self-cleaning lugs keep grip consistent even in mud and wet leaves.
Why Choose the Rocky BearClaw 9" 200G?
This is the lighter-insulation pick in the BearClaw lineup — enough warmth for cool mornings and mild-cold hunts, in a boot that's just as comfortable working a full day as it is sitting in a stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How warm is the 200G insulation?
200 grams of 3M™ Thinsulate™ is the light end of insulated — suited to cool mornings through moderately cold days while you are moving, without overheating on a hike in. For long stationary sits in freezing temperatures, the 1000G BearClaw or the Arctic BearClaw is the better match.
Can this boot be resoled?
Yes. The Goodyear® welt construction stitches the upper to the welt rather than gluing it, so the BearClaw is built to be resoled and kept in service for years.
What does the storm welt do?
A storm welt is a Goodyear welt with a raised lip that folds up against the upper, sealing the stitching line where most boots let water in. Paired with the GORE-TEX® membrane, it is the reason the BearClaw stays dry from the sole up.
How should the BearClaw fit?
Size for a snug heel and room for the toes to spread, and allow for the heavier sock you will wear on cold hunts. Lace the instep firmly to lock the heel back on descents; the kiltie lifts off if you find it in the way.
Are these boots good for work as well as hunting?
Yes. The BearClaw's durable leather, steel shank, self-cleaning outsole, and resoleable welt make it a favorite for anyone who's on their feet outdoors all day, hunting or otherwise.
What's the difference between the 200G and 1000G BearClaw?
Same GORE-TEX® membrane, Goodyear® storm welt, Air-Port™ footbed, and BearClaw 3D outsole. The 200G is the brown leather-and-nylon three-season boot; the 1000G adds five times the Thinsulate™ and a Mossy Oak Break-Up® camo upper for cold-weather sits.
